Anka Turkish Restaurant

Walk into Anka and you're immediately somewhere different from the usual High Street fare. It's the kind of place where they care about getting the basics right—fresh ingredients, proper charring on the meat, and mezze that changes with what's good that week. You'll find locals here on a Friday night alongside families after the cinema, everyone sharing plates of whatever's best that evening. The room itself isn't trying too hard, which is exactly when Turkish restaurants work best. Staff actually know what they're talking about, and they'll steer you away from the obvious choices if you ask.
